On a Facebook post, prominent lawyer and staunched Duterte supporter,
Bruce Rivera made a lengthy explanation about misunderstand.

For Atty. Rivera, some of the Filipinos just lack logic.

“Imagine that. We elected a President who speaks Bisaya and
tries to speak Tagalog with very glaring difficulty. And yet, many of you
dimwits expect him to speak the language like Balagtas. Worst, his non-Bisaya
spokesperson will dismiss it as just being playful.” Rivera said

“It cannot be an admission because why will he incriminate
himself. It is what it is, pidgin Tagalog lost in translation. And it not being
playful.” He said

Atty. Bruce Rivera’s full post reads:

LOGIC AND IQ

You wonder why Myanmar has a higher national IQ despite the fact
that they have systematically destroyed the Rohingya?

Maybe because we do not possess the simplest of the mental
ability: LOGIC.

Imagine that. We elected a
President who speaks Bisaya and tries to speak Tagalog with very glaring
difficulty. And yet, many of you dimwits expect him to speak the language like
Balagtas. Worst, his non-Bisaya spokesperson will dismiss it as just being playful.

And I am pissed.

When a fluent Tagalog speaking
President like PNoy makes a very insensitive statement or even promise to have
himself run over a train, many Tagalog speakers call it as a bluff or an act of
exasperation.*

But a Bisaya who make a clearly
illogical statement as admitting he committed EJK, the Yellows call it an
admission of guilt. Worst, the non-Bisaya defenders simply brush it off like it
was a statement in jest. Why don't you use logic to explain it??

It cannot be an admission because
why will he incriminate himself. It is what it is, pidgin Tagalog lost in
translation. And it not being playful. It was poor sentence construction
expected of a Bisayan speaking man forced to speak a language he seldom speaks
at an age when his verbal acuity is not as sharp. Logic.
